Great location and accommodations . The host Michael was easy to communicate with and checkin and information on the area was great . Woukd definetly recommend . Great with teens and families that like to play games in the game room .
We went for a small getaway to enjoy some winter activities. The house was wonderful, clean, and had plenty to keep the kids entertained in our down time. Owner was wonderful with his communication and I would highly recommend to anyone who wants to enjoy the activities in the vicinity but wants their own space to stretch out and wind down. Looking forward to booking again soon!
Great host. Mike made sure we were taken care and provided a great amount of useful information. The house is located very close to Camelback, outlet mall and great wolf. There are plenty to do in the house with pool table, foosball, ping pong and games. Would love to come back. Thank you.

Thank you Patrick! Glad you had an amazing time at my home!
I want to thank the host he was very accommodating and extremely communicative the entire time. The house is very cozy all games in fantastic condition. Our ten year old loved it. The house was very warm. I love that it's on hill so we were able to sled there was a ton of snow. We would definitely book again in future.
This house was just what my family of 5 needed. We literally did not leave the house the entire trip. It was big enough and fun enough for us to relax and ring in the new year. The game room was a kid's dream - foosball, pool, ping pong and arcade games. My children (6, 9, 12) were in heaven! The house was decorated for Christmas and the owner even left out champagne, party hats and blows to help us celebrate the NY.
Everything was great and as advertised! Very peaceful.
Fantastic! Just FYI the downstairs door would not stay locked when I pressed the “lock” button. It ran, but didn’t lock. The upstairs door worked perfectly. Also the upstairs shower faucet moves in the wall when you pull the lever to turn on the shower.

Thank you for the review Carolyn. I appreciate the feedback, I haven't had any issues with the door locks but I will look into it. I'm so happy you had a 5 star stay!
Mike is a very gracious host and communicated with us from start to finish. When we arrived at the property there was a bottle of wine waiting for us along with Reese's peanut butter cups which happens to be a family favorite of ours.
Although we didn't have the best weather the amenities inside of the home more than made up for it. Everyone enjoyed the game room. Our kids and the kids inside of us adults loved the nostalgic games like Galaga, Street Fighter, and Pacman etc. We definitely would love to stay here again. Thanks Mike for everything!
Our family had a great time in this home. The kids loved all the games that were supplied; we all had so much fun. It was very clean and there was plenty of towels, coffee, soap, etc. More than was expected. If we travel through this area again we will be sure to stay here. Mike was an excellent communicator. :)
My family really enjoyed our stay here for 4 days, 3 nights. Visited Tannersville to ski and the house is 2min to rental shops and another 2min to Camelback parking lot. When we first walked in the downstairs, we were greeted by two arcades, table tennis, foosball and a pool table. We spent what energy we had left after skiing in the downstairs. Upstairs is the main living area, Kitchen and bedrooms. The Keurig coffee maker along with a variety of coffee to choose from was a treat! We used the kitchen often and all the pots, pans, dish ware and utensils were provided/available. The only issue we had was when going to sleep, the heating units/registers are at the baseboards and they will ping and knock when cooling down. Not loudly, but a small nuisance that first night. To counteract that, we turned down the heat a couple hours before going to bed the next couple nights, issue solved! I would definitely stay here again, if available, the next time we visit Tannersville. Thank you again from my wife and kids to the host!
Had a really great time with my family for a weekend getaway. We were close to great wolf lodge and the outlets. Grocery store was nearby if we needed anything. Really great time for the whole family.
This place is perfect. Everything was very clean and the home owner was easy to communicate with. My family of 4 enjoyed our stay. Definitely recommend this cozy and modern home.
We had a great time here and the home is very clean and organized - all details thought of for the comfort of guests. We enjoyed outdoor adventures and then were able to come back and relax afterwards - nice and quiet getaway for the week! Thank you!

Hello James, I'm sorry you didn't enjoy your stay. I had my cleaning team look at the items described. It looks like someone did remove the support bars for the box springs for some reason and it has been fixed. I was unaware that the foosball table had a broken handle and I will look into replacing it. And the ping pong table is as depicted in the pictures as boards that go on top of the pool table.
We enjoyed three pleasant nights at this clean, well equipped home in the woods. The owner of the property was in constant communication with us. We enjoyed the pool and ping pong on the one rainy day we had.
Extremely clean and beautiful property, Michael was a gentleman that helped with every step of the process, had an amazing time and will be back many more.
Mike has a lovely home. We had a great experience and felt perfectly cozy here.

About the host
Hosted by Mike
I am an airline pilot so I decided to put my home up on VRBO for the times I’m working. Everyone should be able to enjoy everything the Poconos has to offer.
Why they chose this property
My home is centrally located in the heart of the Pocono's. Nothing is too far away. Feel secluded in the woods but just a short drive down the hill to the main road.
